The dark green energy thread, wrapped in black-and-white flames, slammed into the mirror.
The terrifying force inside was dispersed by the many tiny reflective surfaces.
Even so, Hai Bodong was horrified to see faint cracks spreading across the mirror's center.
He immediately released more Dou Qi, creating additional layers of ice. Only then did he feel relief.
Crack!
The mirror shattered, but the energy thread had been almost fully spent, dispersing after breaking through three layers of ice.
"What a little monster…"
Hai Bodong's aged face twitched as he sighed.
"But… this should be enough."
He withdrew his ice layers....only to find no one before him.
"Senior Hai, if we keep fighting, I'll have no choice but to run."
Xiao Jian's voice drifted from above.
Hai Bodong looked up, stunned.
"Dou Qi Wings?" But he quickly shook his head. "No… not wings. A flying Dou Technique?"
"Kid, why are you covered in treasures?"
He couldn't believe it.
He deeply understood the Mittel Family's limits. A flying technique? Impossible.
A Different Flame? Even more impossible.
And besides—
"You little brat, how do you know the Yunlan Sect's high-tier techniques? If I'm right, what you used earlier was their strongest single-target attack.....'Wind Extreme: Falling Kill'!"
Hai Bodong immediately lost the desire to fight. A mere Dou Master using a move that could kill a Da-Dou-Shi and heavily injure a Dou Ling? What was the point of testing him? This boy was far more monstrous than he had ever been.
"Uh… that's a complicated story. It involves personal matters.
I can't explain yet, but Senior Hai will know eventually. I'm not from the Yunlan Sect."
Xiao Jian scratched his head and retracted his Purple Cloud Wings.
"And what exactly is your Dou Qi attribute? You practice my Mystic Ice Art
....so how can you still use wind techniques?"
Hai Bodong stared at him curiously.
"Hehe, Senior Hai just needs to know I can use both. As for the attribute… call it wind and ice."
Xiao Jian brushed past the question.
"What a mysterious boy… seems the Mittel Family does know what they're doing."
Hai Bodong didn't press further. He waved his hand, noticing Xiao Jian's slightly pale complexion.
"Hehe, Elder Tengshan valued me, so I received the Mystic Ice Art, Ice Condensing Mirror, and Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill. They've helped my training."
Xiao Jian said politely.
"Hmph, that useless old fellow is still alive?"
Though his words were harsh, a faint smile flickered in Hai Bodong's eyes.
"Elder Tengshan is now a Dou Wang."
Xiao Jian replied.
Dou Wang… So many years have passed…"
Complicated emotion appeared in Hai Bodong's cloudy gaze.
"I heard Senior Hai disappeared over twenty years ago. Did something happen back then? Does it relate to your seal?"
Xiao Jian asked.
"Heh, sharp kid. I was indeed sealed. And the matter… starts with that map fragment."
Hai Bodong grinned, his facial scar twisting.
"After participating in the Strongest Conference, I came to the Tagor Desert. By chance, I obtained that map piece.
But it drew the pursuit of the Snake-People Tribe's Queen....Medusa.
Queen Medusa is one of the strongest Dou Huangs. If her tribe had more like her, they'd have invaded the human empire long ago.
Naturally, I lost miserably. Though I escaped, she struck me with the 'Serpent Seal Curse'. My body aged rapidly, and my cultivation was sealed to Dou Ling."
His voice held helplessness.
He had only known the map was related to treasure. Since even Medusa wanted it, it must be valuable.
He never expected fortune to turn to misfortune.
Hai Bodong sighed. "I've hidden here for years, studying the fragment to break the seal. But with only part of the map, nothing I know can help."
"Senior Hai… why this misunderstanding?"
Xiao Jian looked speechless.
"Hm?"
Hai Bodong frowned.
"Medusa's sealing curse has nothing to do with the map fragment."
Xiao Jian spread his hands.
Hai Bodong froze, silent for a moment, then stiffly said, "Not entirely. Actually, I found a method to break the seal.
I have a prescription that can undo it. If someone refines the pill it describes, I can restore my strength."
"Then why not find someone? With your status as the Ice Emperor, can't you invite Pill King Gu He?"
Xiao Jian asked knowingly.
"Gu He is a sixth-rank alchemist, yes. But my pill requires an alchemist with a Different Flame. Gu He doesn't have one, so he cannot refine it."
Hai Bodong shook his head firmly.
"What a coincidence. A sixth-rank alchemist with a Different Flame… I happen to know one."
